Winter tire question

Got a question about winter and wheel sizes.

I have a new 2014 JCW Paceman All4, that came with 18" wheels and summer tires.

I also have a slightly-used set of Bridgestone Blizzaks, that I would like to get some more use out of.

Is there any reason why I can't put 16" wheels on this car and use my 225 60 16 Blizzaks?

Thanks!

Yes, you can use 16x7.5" wheels (offset 45mm) and winter 205/60-16 tires.
